I have quite a few of these albums I got for cheap and I have to say that if they look fake, they are.

but... there were a few recent ones of cheap metals (like Vietnamese Dong from the 60s) that were real. Probably the cash coins/10 mun are real, too since they minted those like crazy

Pics?

I've been looking at these and found that they all fall short of the listed weight in Krause. To keep it simple, weighed all of the coins that are of the 20 Cent size (1 Mace and 44 Candareens) and found that there was some variability in them (about 4.1 g to 4.8 g) but the average one weighed 4.3 g. Krause lists these as weighing 5.3 g. I assume the whole pile is fake! Too bad, thought I was rich. I now have over 100 "fake" Chinese coins. What should I do with the pile?

I keep hoping someone will chime in and reassure me that my 108 "silver" coins are real. Someone please give me some false hope!
